Why CEDS? 201
• What are Common Education Data Standards?
• What is CEDS?
• Why do we need it?
• Development: Who & How?
• What does CEDS provide?
Data standard: an agreed upon set of data names, definitions, options & technical specs
But, there are certain data we all need to understand, compare & exchange.
Education institutions across P-20 use many different data standards.
For these, we need acommon education data standard.
FOR EXAMPLE: Demographic dataImagine...
Your State PreK Program has a child also enrolled in Child Care that uses a different education data standard.
State PreK
Program
Here’s a child:
MattheSmithIII
Race = GuamanianGender = M
Child Care
Hmmm…Did you mean:
Matthew ?Smith ?
Suffix = III ?Race = NHOPI ?
Sex = M ?
FOR EXAMPLE: Demographic dataImagine...
A student from a high school in State A enrolls in a university in State B that uses a different education data standard.
High School in
state A
IHE in state B
Here’s a new student:
JonathaTsumuraII
Race = JapaneseGender = M
Hmmm…Did you mean:
Jonathan ?Tsumura ?
Suffix = II ?Race = Asian ?
Sex = M ?

What is CEDS?• A national collaborative effort to develop voluntary, common data standards for a key set of education data elements
Voluntary Common Vocabulary
• A vocabulary including standard definitions, option sets & technical specifications to streamline sharing and comparing
Why do we need CEDS?
1.Accurate, timely, and consistent datato inform decisionmaking
2.Share & compare high quality data within & across P-20 sectors
Required
A data collection
A federal unit record system
Solely an ED undertaking
All or nothing
An implementation
CEDSis Not:
How do we get it done?• Assemble stakeholders representing
the field
• Use existing sources of standards
• Check alignment with the field
• Review ideas with the public
• Model elements
• Place in tools
• Release

CEDS Logical Data Model
Comprised of 2 distinct views:• Domain Entity Schema (DES)
• A hierarchy of domains, entities, attribute categories, and attributes organizing and assigning elements to specific entities
• Used primarily by people as an index to search, map, and organize elements
• Normalized Data Schema (NDS)• The NDS Logical Model provides a standard framework for
integration of P-20 data systems through a well-normalized “operational data store”
• NDS factors the entities and attributes of the DES with standard technical syntax and 3rd normal form
Web-based tool that allows users to:• Import or input their data
dictionaries• Align their data to CEDS• Compare themselves with others• Analyze their data in relation to
various other CEDS-aligned efforts
CEDS Alignment Tool
CEDS Use Case Generator ToolBuilds on the CEDS Alignment Tool and allows stakeholders to:• Generate specific and relevant
maps to a growing pool of CEDS aligned use cases
1. We need standards2. CEDS is here3. It’s a Group Effort4. It’s for P-205. It provides Elements6. It’s got a Data Model7. It’s got Powerful Tools
